Daniel Butler’s view to a thrill - 0 Comments

FORT MYERS — The catcher always has the best view of any pitcher’s stuff on any given day, and on Thursday, Daniel Butler had a view of some of the best performances this spring by Daniel Bard and Allen Webster.

With Bard, not only did Butler have the perfect vantage point to critique the 1-2-3 inning with three strikeouts, he also brought perspective.

Butler caught Bard last August in Triple-A Pawtucket, where the right-hander experienced no better results — 31 games, 1.875 WHIP, 7.03 ERA — than he did in the big leagues.
